Hello Ladies and Gents! It’s another year and by God’s grace I’m looking forward to bigger and greater things this year! I’m kinda disappointed in my list of books I read in 2016. I think 2016 was a very strange year for me in more ways than one. I usually finish my Goodreads challenge before the year is out but not last year unfortunately. Hopefully this year I can do way better than last year. So without further ado, here’s my list of the best books I read in 2016. I had planned to read 80 books in 2016 but only finished 18 books. It’s a far cry I know. lol. I’m very positive about this year though. Hopefully I’ll have my post up soon about the books I’m looking forward to reading in 2017. See y’all soon. Peace! 🙂

Hi Everyone!! It’s been a while since I’ve written a book related post. It’s like it’s never enough time in the day for all the things that I want to do!

I love looking through every crook and cranny for a good read. Whether it’s a good book deal on Amazon in either kindle or paperbacks I love the thrill of collecting either a new book or a book that never gets old. So here is a list of books that I bought this month!

Like this:

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know the exciting news! I know,know, not very big news but I recently went on a pretty big book haul which I would consider big cause I’m usually big on buying and finding great deals on e-books. I still love having a real book in my hands. So here it goes…..

Here’s what I’m currently reading,

Books from my Big Book Haul for this month!

So some of these books I’ve already read but I remember loving them so much that I wanted to add them to my already overflowing collection. In my opinion, I can never have too many books. 🙂 So what books have you been reading or want to read? 🙂

Like this:

Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ll try to do better. I will TRY! But anyway, the months has passed by so quickly. It’s June already and I know it’s going to be a hot summer. I do plan to stay inside with the air conditioner running and a great book in my hand to enjoy.

So Okay…

Here’s what I’ve read…

What I’m Reading Now…

PLANS,PLANS,PLANS,I HAVE BIG DREAMS AND PLANS OF MY NEXT READS. CAN’T SAY THAT I’LL BE ABLE TO GET TO ALL OF THEM.

That just about wraps everything up.

**************************************

I know that it’s probably going to be old news now but I was so shocked to learn that Johnathan Crombie had passed away. I grew up loving everything Anne of Green Gables and those novels plus the movies will always have a special place in my heart. How many Anne of Green Gables lovers out there?

Like this:

Hi Everyone!! Happy New Year! I know I was supposed to do this like last year but…. It didn’t happen that way! Better late than never! I hope you enjoy it all the same. I’m proud of myself because I did read a lot of books from my ever growing To Be Read list. I’m Happy! I had actually set a goal on Goodreads to read 40 books thinking I wouldn’t have time but I actually read over a 100 books. That’s an accomplishment to me! Hopefully I try to keep you updated on the books I look forward to reading for 2015! Enjoy! 🙂

Oh yeah! I got a Kindle for Christmas so I’m looking forward to reading a whole lot more books! If anyone can tell me where I can find free ebooks or discounted ebooks either Christian fiction or Classics. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! Thank you kindly! 🙂

FOOD!!!! YUM!!

I’m always happy when I discover a new food or a new way that food is presented!

Best Food #1 – Everybody scream ice cream!! Wow! I didn’t know I would really LOVE ice cream as much as I did when I tasted the “QT(Quick Trip) Ice Cream”. It was so fresh, light, and sooo good. It was really a treat. It was vanilla flavored by the way. Me and chocolate has never got along and I would rather prefer vanilla or strawberry.

Best Food # 2– My Grandmother’s So Delicious Recipe. “Sausage Rigatoni”. It’s kinda hard to describe it but I know the main ingredients were Spaghetti Sauce, Rigatoni Pasta, and Sausage, and maybe cheese. I need to ask her about it but it was so GOOD that I daydreamed about it for days on end. It think it maybe was letting the sausage marinate along with the pasta sauce that gave it that extra kick. It was SO good! YUM!!

Best Food# 3– I could have never imagined that Chocolate Chips could get along well inside a Pecan Pie! I had never heard of a “Chocolate Pecan Pie” It was a splendidly well together match. I just savored it again and again. Yum! With each bite I knew I was slowly but surely falling in love! I wouldn’t mind having some right now! 😉

******************************************

Best Movies that I watched in 2014!
